Instructions

For the cookies cream the butter with the sugar for a few minutes.

Then add the egg and honey and mix well.

Add flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder and mix until you get a dough.

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least half an hour or overnight.

2 Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

3 Divide dough into two parts, put one part back in the fridge before using.

Roll out second part to about 2 millimeters and cut out round cookies with 5-6 centimeters in diameter.

This can be done with a cookie cutter or glass.

You should get 30 cookies in total or even more, I get about 40.

Bake one baking sheet at the time for about 8-10min.

Let cookies cool.

4 For the filling look for two cookies of the same size and place about one teaspoon of dulce de leche onto the bottom one before sandwiching together.

5 Chop semi-sweet chocolate and melt with butter and orange zest on low heat.

Dunk each sandwich cookie into the chocolate and let cool off on parchment paper before serving.
